What Types of Activities are Offered to Your Loved One in a Memory Care Community?

We sat down with the Director of Education here at NCCDP Denise Scruggs to talk about a series of topics regarding how to assist our loved ones living with dementia.
Let's Talk About Dementia-min (1)

Another one is looking at the activities and things to do. Are the activities offered things that your loved one would love to do? Are there opportunities to interact with others? At different times throughout the day are you able to participate in those activities with them? These are all good signs that it’s more of a homelike situation that your loved one will enjoy and that you will also. Finally you want to make sure about amenities and what services are really offered because not all of them are like it’s apples to oranges and everyone has a different set of uh opportunities that they might provide or services. Some of the services are included in an all-inclusive price and others are not. So, definitely don’t hesitate to ask. People don’t mind that you ask, we expect to be asked those questions. So, don’t hesitate so ask these four questions and know that you’re making the best decision you can by doing that.
